In The Beginning #1

Bro. Lee Vayle

October 3, 1992

		Heavenly Father, we have been singing, which we hope are Your praises
tonight and glorifying and extolling Your Name, and we do that in these
mortal bodies which are certainly limited, they are very, very finite
and in no way can truly express what should be expressed. But Lord, we
look for the resurrection and for new bodies, which will be wholly
compatible to that hour of further sanctification where we might praise
Thee even more acceptably, Lord, according to even a greater will an
understanding a greater fervency a greater unity. 

		And yet, we know in this hour that the Scripture is surely fulfilled,
that You have said that in this day, as it was at Pentecost, in the hour
to come we know that You’re in the Father and You in us and all of
this together as Bro. Branham said, “One Word.” And, we are trusting
tonight Lord, that you help us to go into Your Word to see just how
these things are and the truth of the Word Lord, and not be carried away
with ideas which are not compatible or from the Word, O God. We look to
You for Your care tonight even as You care for us spiritually, mentally,
You care for us physically and help those that have physical problems
which we thank You Lord, you have helped us over the rough spots and
continue to do so. Now, we commend ourselves to the Word of Your grace,
in Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen. You may be seated.

1.		Now, before we get into a message, which I trust we’ll finish
tonight, if we don’t we will finish it tomorrow, on ‘In The
Beginning’, I want to review a little bit because when we deal with
questions and answers and even certain subjects in the Scripture, there
are times that things do not come across as intended, in the sense that
they have the clarity and the drive, that they should have in order to
settle people minds once and for all. Because, we are in this hour when
you cannot add to the Scripture or take from it, except under great
jeopardy, and of course we don’t believe the Bride would do that.

		Now, there is certain information, of course, we’ve been looking at,
concerning Bro. Branham, that people are wondering about and saying,
“Well if the prophet said this that and the other thing and it isn’t
so how could you trust him as a prophet?” Now, that’s something that
everybody will bring up, except the true Bride. Because, foolish virgin
doesn’t have too much of a clue and the make believer and the
un-believer; the un-believer doesn’t believe it to begin with, and the
make believer only sticks around long enough to say, “Well, I told you
it wasn’t right it wouldn’t work.”

2.		So, you have to understand what really made Bro. Branham a prophet
and this cannot be said too often. The only way a man can be a prophet
is according to Deuteronomy 18, where he comes previously to bringing
the Word, he is vindicated by God with ‘THUS SAITH THE LORD’, and
whatever he says is ‘THUS SAITH THE LORD’ comes to pass, perhaps
many times, perhaps not a lot of times, perhaps just once. But, this
must be his vindication to the people. 

		Now, I do not care for fifteen split seconds, if Isaiah does not say,
“I have been vindicated.” He merely comes telling his visions. The
only reason he can tell his visions and have 

any status is because he is vindicated. Ezekiel is the same. He talks
about, “I had visions of God.” Well they say, “Hey blabber-mouth
that Joe Smith down the road in America, is going to have visions too
and his aren’t worth a plug nickel, except they’re highly
detrimental.” I don’t know if he had visions. You could even have a
true vision, that does not make you a prophet from God with the Word. 

3.		So, when you consider Amos and you consider Joel, Zechariah, every
single one had to be vindicated. Now, look at their lives. Well, if you
are going to look at somebody’s life all the time, you’ll turn out
to be a self-righteous hypocrite and a nincompoop, spiritually speaking.
I had to let that out because it’s the truth, I’ll speak the truth.
I’m not going to pull my punches, it’s the truth. You’re just a
self-righteous spiritual dope. Because it is the same thing we’ve have
them come here with a filthy spirit to this church but they don’t
stay. With a homosexual spirit but they don’t stay. And their answer
to us for believing the Word and not having filthy spirits and being
perverts is, “Well hey, your people exceed the speed limit.” God
doesn’t judge the world because of broken speed limits. It’s filthy
sex is what does it. 

4.		Now, it doesn’t say that David was vindicated, but he was or he
wouldn’t have been a prophet. I don’t want to make him my whipping
boy, because Bro. Branham thought that he was the greatest man, ever.
Although, I believe Jesus said, “John the Baptist was the greatest
prophet but David, (no doubt) was the greatest man.” And you can’t
take his life and say, “Well, I tell you what, this man was so
fantastic as a tremendous, righteous and wonderful person that I’d
have to believe him.” Oh, come on, the devil can appear as an angel of
light and so can his ministers. 

		So, please get this and then I want to drop it unless some time I have
to go in to talk about when the Cloud appeared and everything else. That
doesn’t concern me. What concerns me is, is this man qualified to give
the Word, according to the Scripture? And if he isn’t, nobody is. Now
that’s plain and simple. “Well, Bless God, you know, Bro.Vayle,
there is no such thing as a Gentile prophet.” You’ve got to be sick.
Who told you? Where is it in the Bible? Who is that particular prophet
and where did he come from that was so close to Jesus Christ that John
wanted to worship him? 

		“Oh, that was Bro. Branham’s theophany.”  

		Prove it. 

		“Oh, that was Bro. Branham.” 

		Prove it. It just-- you’re just mouthing off. 

		I am trying to show you something here brother/sister, don’t fool
with God’s prophets. He could have one come on the scene so fantastic
it would appear it, he would be almost close to Jesus Christ except he
was born of sin, Jesus never was. And Jesus was neither Jew nor Gentile,
how do you like that? “Well now, he can’t be a prophet because
he’s not Jew.” Well if he is Jew, I’ll eat him. Regular
transubstantiation. He is not Jew he is not Gentile. He is the Lord from
heaven. God created the egg and the sperm. Mary didn’t have one thing
to do with it except provide the nutrients, she was the chemical
factory, she wasn’t even an, well she was better then an incubator. An
incubator only supplies the heat to the chicken, to the little egg. This
woman supplied the nutrients. That gave her a place above every woman in
the world, but it didn’t make her any queen. 

5.		So all right, Jesus himself began to do and to teach proves his
vindication. Paul had his vindication in Romans 15, Bro. Branham had his
in Lk 17:30 and Matthew 12 and in Matthew 4, if you believe it. If you
don’t, well it wasn’t so nice knowing you. You might have thought I
thought you were nice and enjoyed it. But I won’t miss you. You say,
“Why Bro. Vayle? Can’t you convert me?” Hey, I am not God. I’m
not God. But I cannot accept brethren, false brethren, who come in
unaware. This church, I don’t think, is a very good place for them to
sneak in, because everything is exposed here, at least I hope it is, if
it isn’t it’d better be. So all right, that’s the first point I
wanted to talk about to the clear the atmosphere once and for al,
because sometimes I don’t go as thorough as I want to. 

6.		Now, we mentioned the other day about the 112th pope. That came from
this fellow in Ireland, I don’t think he was a saint, I don’t know
if he was a monk, a cardinal, bishop or God knows what he was, I don’t
know. But many, many, years ago he prophesied there’d be 112 popes and
then the antichrist would come. Now, I don’t know if the guy was a
prophet or not, I haven’t got a clue, but he could have been a
prophet. Not a true prophet unto God, but he received a revelation. I
don’t know. Now, this present pope is 111. They’re grooming Cardinal
Waal of Boston, maybe for 112, maybe not. Maybe 112, could be, who
knows. 

		But Bro. Branham said, as prophesied, That “a pope comes out of
America,” and I really believe, because I find nothing else that he
ever used as a prophecy, I know nothing he mentioned in the Book of
Visions, though that doesn’t mean I am talking as though I know
anything. But I really believe that he was speaking from Revelation 13.
And, a pope will come out of America and I believe, and I don’t know
that it is one hundred percent right but it sure looks like it from
chapter 13, it looks like it could be antichrist. But, then maybe
Cardinal Waal will be 112 and I don’t know if it is a-a-l, which could
be Welsh or Irish or some British term or it could be W-a-h-l, which
could be German. [Note - Cardinal for Boston was Bernard Law until 2003
when he resigned.]

		Now, if it’s Waal and it is Irish, and this is nothing but off of
the top of my head, you’re running a wonderful parallel. Here is a
Boston Irishman, Catholic who would be antichrist and we had a
Jeffersonville, formally from Kentucky, former Irish Catholic, William
Branham, now Protestant, prophet of Almighty God, vindicated. Runs a
beautiful parallel, the two spirits. I don’t say, “It is,” I am
just saying, “Hey look at it.” Why this could be even better then we
think, but not maybe as good as God thinks. No doubt, it is not as good
as God thinks but, I am just looking at it so I am not making any
prophetic utterance. I am not making anything that is definitive, I just
say, “Hey, you know things are conspiring to come to pass in unusual
ways and it is very, very marvelous.” 

7.		Remember, Bro. Branham’s own name was in a book of prophecy,
written by the Mormons, and it said, “When the prophet William Branham
comes on the scene it’s all over.” I talked to a man named Rev.
James, from the Pentecostal assembly’s out there in Provo, I think
it’s Provo, yeah. He said, “Bro. Vayle,” he said, “you’re with
Bro. Branham.” 

		I said, “Yeah.” 

		“Well,” he said, “Listen, there’s no Gentile can ever come
into the temple, unless that one be William Branham. You tell him that
the Mormon catholic church is open to him, if he should want to come.”

		So, they brought the …?... I told you Bro. Branham, which of course
they would, and somebody asked him one time, “Well what about the
fact,” he said, “that you’ve, that your name was found in this
book of Mormon?”

		 “Well,” he said, “I’m sure it’s true but I don’t make a
thing out of it.” 

		Billy Paul told me he had the actual book of prophesies, a copy, in
his possession. So, all right, I can’t say too much about this 112th
pope except it’s very interesting. Very, very interesting. 

8.		Now, I want to just add a third point and this third point is not
covering something that I have covered before and want to just make it a
little more coherent. It has to do with what I have been talking about
all along the line and that is this. The Roman church has the gold and
the Jews have the paper. I got to thinking what book in the Bible I
wanted to go to, but they didn’t know that the Jews had the paper.
But, now that we know the Jews have the paper.

8.	 	Let’s go to the book of Zechariah, second last book in the Bible,
and it says in the last chapter of Zechariah. [Chapter 14:] 

 (1) 	Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided
in the midst of thee. 

(2) 	For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the
city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and
half of the city go into captivity, and the residue of the people shall
not be cut off from the city. 

 (3) 	Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as
when he fought in the day of battle. 

 (4) 	And his feet stand upon the mount of Olives, (and so on…)…  

		And, Bro. Branham told us many times how that when the Bride was in
the wedding chamber and the wedding supper had no doubt passed over,
like Joseph leaving his Bride to make himself known to the brethren, he
comes down but he did say, “Makes himself known by a sign.” And, of
course, you know the sign of the Messiah absolutely would have to be
Deuteronomy 18, and no doubt, would be qualified by the Pillar of Fire.
He would appear in a sign. Now, I am just saying that’s what I
believe. I think that’s what it is, I don’t have his word on it, but
that’s my understanding of Bro. Branham talking about this particular
time. 

9.		But, my thought is not that, my thought is this. If all the world is
gathered against Jerusalem, what do you think is going to be the
attitude of America and Britain, Canada and every nation that has Jews
living in it? Think it over. Do you think they are going to say, “Nice
people?” I’m a little convinced that alfalfa Bill Murray, Governor
of Oklahoma, might have had an understanding, in a very wicked way, that
I would not want to have in my heart or anybody else’s heart. That if
the people ever find out what’s with the Jews, what Hitler did would
look like a Sunday school picnic. They have the paper, haven’t they? 

		Remember, the parable of the rich man, the king that had the vineyards
and the nation, the kingdom elect through his stewards and he sent those
people to do something about his kingdom, to look in to it. So, they
killed them and beat them. And he said, “Well, I will send my son,
they’ll honor him.” And they killed him too. Is there a possibility,
very shortly, America will turn on the Jews? The answer? It’s already
turning on the Jews. Who was the fellow that wanted to have the Jews
turned on, to begin with? The great trilateral, Rockefeller. 

		Remember, he put an ad in the paper, large paper ads, New York Times
and all around the country, when the oil was drying up. Why, he wanted
to save his Gentile pocket book. Yeah. People try to say he’s a Jew. I
don’t believe he’s Jew anymore then Roosevelt was a Jew. You know,
you get people who are Jew haters they’ll twist everything under
God’s high heaven because they are idiots. I mean, they are
crazy…they are crazy. Spiritually wicked, spiritually mad. Yes, I
think I saw one of those great big double page ads, advocating America
turn on the Jews and love the Arabs to get the oil. 

10.		Now, is it too far stretched to believe that America is going to
turn on the Jew? I don’t think that there is anything but what they
will turn on the Jews. Those that go back to Jerusalem, those that are a
nation, and remember, they have enough territory to be a progressive
great nation, they have sophisticated arm runs. And, I would say, except
for God holding them back, as America turned traitor on Israel and
caused her to end that six day war without pushing the Arabs all the way
back, when they were winning. America flubbed that dub and messed it up
for them. They could have done it though. Now, it’s coming up to be a
well known fact, I don’t know how well known, anything can be brought
up as a well known fact, that they took a crack at Iraq, during this
last war, this seven day quickie, one week. But, the point is how can
you read the Scripture and know that this is Israel of 144,000? And Bro.
Branham said, “Zionism put him there,”  he didn’t like Zionism,
but he said, “God is behind it.” 

		Remember, he talked about those Wall Street Jews. Sure, I mean he
wasn’t a man that hid his head in the sand and patted every Jew on the
back, “Your God’s anointed, your God’s chosen.” Come on; don’t
give me that raspberry stuff. But down through those lines, somewhere,
are going to be a 144,000 people and the world is going to come against
them and the world did it against Iraq showing it can be done and done
quickly. I think there is 119 nations were involved and I think that
ninety nine appeared or something like that. Maybe my figure is a bit
wrong but they are mighty high just the same, that’s the way that it
was. 

11.		So, when you hear these things, I want you to know that they’re
not something just given to us as a little tiny point of information.
This is something that you look at and you think about and you will
begin to see that hey, this thing is working out tremendously. And, we
can see ourselves involved because when we turn against the Jews,
remember you will turn against God’s 144,000. And, you’d better not
be in that position. 

		Well, by the grace of God, we’re not but I just wanted to let you
know these things because if they come to my mind, I write them down. My
memory’s not as good as it was and you complain about yours and
you’ll be complaining about mine pretty soon but that’s all right, I
can complain about it to let you know I forget things sometimes and
realize that I haven’t made things clear enough, haven’t brought you
certain thoughts or things that are valuable to you so I try to do it
and that is the way it is now. 

 		All right, ‘In the Beginning’.  And, ‘In the Beginning’
we’ll take our time and we will finish it tomorrow morning because I
am not going to push anything, if we finish tomorrow morning and have
time left over, we’ll eat, which we are going to do anyway. So, stick
around for dinner. 

12.		All right, Gen 1:1.

	In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

		God created. Now, if he is God creating and God is a figure, involved
in worship, then worship has already been established through a creation
before this particular creation, might as well say it now. And
furthermore, because we are launching into the history of the bringing
forth of man, mankind, and the relationship to God, you’ll notice the
term ‘God’ is used not as because He already was that, and is, but
the same society of children, that God brings upon the earth, will know
Him as their God, the One whom they love and worship. 

13.		Now, in Gen 2:1-4 it says,

	Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of 
them. 

		Now, that certainly sounds like the universe itself, as we know it, in
its material concept of the hour, or at least a portion of it, which is
decidedly contingent to the earth, perhaps even beneficial, as it says
in the book of Job, “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the
Pleiades…” The sun, the moon and the stars have an influence on the
earth, that’s why the Bible in the stars gave way to astrology. Many
times it seems to be fairly accurate but I wouldn’t trust it anymore
then I would trust my tires on my car with nails in them and still not
going flat. Because, just the time I would need the tires not flat, I
would make a turn and there goes all the air. So don’t trust
astrology. 

14.		All right, now, 

 (1) 	Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of
them. 

(2)  	And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and
he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

(3) 	And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in
it he had rested from all his works which God created and made.

		Now, notice what it says here in the beginning, “God created the
heaven and the earth” and then it says here, “and God sanctified and
blessed the seventh day,” because that in the six days previously, God
had created and made everything.

15.		Now, I have read these Scriptures, the little potion here, that you
might see we are viewing one of God’s beginning’s and only one of
God’s beginnings out of several or many that are in the Word. And you
look through the Word and you will see, “I being all things a new,    
   I create anew,” and he establishes the beginnings of certain areas,
“and beginning was the Word.” And, all of those are beginnings but,
this is and this is just one of those beginnings, see, that 

we’re talking about. And, this beginning is strange because it
encompasses six thousand years of re-working or renewing or transforming
and shaping or simply making something out of the earth, whose history
before that was millions or billions of years of getting to the point of
Genesis 1 and 2, where we find it chaotic as to its usability, though
still at that point it is fitting for God’s purpose or purposes, or
he’d of just blown it up. The new heaven’s and earth had to come
from a re creation, a complete dissolution, because it wasn’t fitting.
I like that. 

		I am not completely in league with men who like old antique homes and
bring their wives into a drafty old clap trap dump. If I’d have had my
way, we got married we would have a brand new house. Bro. Graham nod’s
his head, he is a good boy, he’s my kind of a deacon. That’s right.
I got no hankering for hand me down’s. 

16.		Well, this was okay at that point, for God to make a beginning,
back there, see. So, you’ll see that I am correct in my statements as
we go along. So, I see its exact condition at that point, Genesis 1 and
2, was exactly the way God wanted it, a great potential, though
unordered, something like the church is today, was, but soon to be set
in order. So, God starts it and it takes six thousand years to finalize
it, for the hour that God wanted it fully established, to implement His
purpose. So, we are going to read and not be hurried by going back to
Genesis 1 and just reading about the creation, and like it’s often
said by preachers, “If you don’t hear anything decent from me, at
least you’ve got the Word of God and that should make you very happy
and fill you with delight,” God said, as his spirit moved upon the
face of the water. 

17.		Now, why doesn’t it just say that God moved? Well hey, it says
God creates. So now when you talk of spirit you talk of nature. So here
is God performing these things because it’s His nature. “I’m going
to stop God doing that.” Hey, you could stop me eating by, you know,
by not giving me any food but that wouldn’t stop me wanting to eat
because it’s my nature to eat. See, I’ve got certain things that are
intrinsically within me that, you know, the essential intrinsicality of
my life is there. How are you going, you know, you can’t stop it
unless you kill. And then you’ll never stop the real me because I’ll
go on being that, until you learn how to get rid of spirits. And believe
me, you don’t get rid of them by burning sulfur candles, you get rid
of bed bugs that way but you don’t get rid of spirits. You know what I
mean? Come on, let’s not be childish, let’s get the thing straight. 

18.		[Genesis 1:]

(3) 	And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 

(4) 	And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light
from the darkness. 

 (5) 	And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.
And the evening and the morning were the first day. 

 (6) 	And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 

(7) 	And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under
the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was
so. 

		And, you know, that’s explained by old Scofield, and different
preachers, and I think it’s pretty good. The whole thing was immersed
in water. So, what he did, he divided the waters from the waters, that
means he left all the water down here upon the land as it is and then he
let the vapors and everything up there above it, mists and dews, you
know, the earth was watered by a dew coming down and things like that,
you know. So, and the heavens and all, anyway

 (8) 	And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
morning were the second day.

(9) 	And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together
unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

(10) 	And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of
the waters called the Seas: and God saw that it was good.

(11) 	And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding
seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in
itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

(12)  	And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after
his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after
his kind: and God saw that it was good.

(13)  	And the evening and the morning were the third day.

19.		Now, remember, these are one thousand year periods. So, now
you’ve got three thousand years under control and working on this
thing that had been maybe created billions of years ago, and taking all
this time, like Bro. Branham explains it in ‘Questions and Answers in
Genesis’, which we don’t have time to go into. We could read it
sometime, it would be worthwhile.

(14) 	And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for
seasons, and for days, and years: 

		Now, that’s different from what happened over there in verses 4 and
5. I don’t understand it all but maybe that’s where the galaxies out
there everything else. Now, this is what’s really influencing the
earth here and now. 

 (15) 	And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven to give
light upon the earth: and it was so. 

(16) 	And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

(17) 	And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon
the earth,

(18) 	And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the
light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

(19) 	And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. (Now four
thousand years has gone by.)

(20) 	And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly and moving
creatures that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the
open firmament of the heaven.

(21)  	And God created great whales, and every living creature that
moveth, which the water brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and
every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

(22) 	And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill
the waters the earth, and let the fowl multiply here. 

20.		Now, during that time, you’ll notice, that these were all
multiplying. Oh yeah. Oh hey, grass was coming up; water’s pouring
this way and everything. Hey, that must have been marvelous, if you
could stick around for six thousand years to see it. Hey, don’t worry
about it; we’re going to be around for New Jerusalem. I believe it
because He says, He’s going to dissolve it and bring it back. You
know, this is great but that’s going to be greater. 

		See, that’s like I keep telling you about further sanctification.
This is the greatest joy in my life is to know that Bro. Branham settled
the whole thing by saying that, “The millennium is further
sanctification,” and then I find out myself that even in New Jerusalem
there’s further. That’s marvelous you know, it gives you hope
because of yourself, looking at yourself, you have no hope. I mean, I
surely trust that you look in the mirror of the Word of God and see
something better then I see of myself and if you’re real smart you are
going to see Christ. 

21.		Okay, let’s keep reading. All right, that’s the fifth day,
number six, five thousand years gone by. 

		[Genesis 1:]

(24) 	And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after
his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his
kind: and it was so. 

 (25) 	And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle
after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
kind: and God saw that it was good. 

		Now, imagine all the insects that are good and all those things are
there too. I don’t know. Creeping things and this and that, anything
flies. Now on the sixth day

 (26) 	God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every
(creeping) thing that creeps upon the earth.

		Now, notice what he said, “…we are going to make man and let
them…” In other words, they are going to be filling the earth. And,
they are going to have dominion over all these things that are already
filling the earth and doing a good job. Oh, there is going to be
abundance there. 

 (27) 	So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created he them. (He had too because up here it
says there’s going to be people and you don’t get people out of just
one.)

(28)	And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and
multiply, (there you are) and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and
have dominion over the fish of the sea, fowl of the air, over every
living thing that moves upon the earth.

(29) 	And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in  which is
the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

(30)  	And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air,
and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life,
I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

(31) 	And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very
good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

22.        [Genesis 2:]

(1) 	Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of
them. 

(2) 	And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he
rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 

(3) 	And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in
it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 

		Now these, notice, these are the generations of the heavens and of the
earth when they were created. In other words, He is telling you the
generations were actually six thousand years of God bringing the thing
up to where He wanted it. So, now man, set where he should be set, could
begin to work out his destiny, as God had predestinated it, and God had
actually programmed him, given him his life. 

(4) 	These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they
were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the
heavens,

23.		All right. Now, I want to point out what we saw in the Scripture
concerning God’s 

method of creating, structuring, restructuring, how he did it. And, of
course, we know, He did it though he was God, not as God but as Creator
and to the extent that He would be the great God to this family, who He
is putting upon the earth.

	 	So, number one; God speaking and thereby bringing forth, that which
previously was not there. He said, “Let there be light,” it wasn’t
there before but it was there now. Now, it does not say that He created
it, He spoke it. So, here you see creation by absolute spoken Word. 

24.		Now, notice further, number two; God doing the necessary about
something that needed doing, such as when He divided the waters from the
water, because man could not live in that particular atmosphere, the
animals could not do that because they needed to breathe. The plants
could not live in that atmosphere, there had to be something done. He
divided the waters from the waters. Now, to begin with, the waters had
to be there but after a certain point, because God programming, notice
those generations, God moving up, up, up, like Bro. Branham said, “God
had a sword of evolution.” So, you see it moving here. 

25.		Now, number three; God speaking and not creating but commanding the
inanimate to form into a pattern or a position according to His plan.
Now, what was that? That’s let the dry land appear, let the sea’s
gather together, let the water do so and so. 

26.		The next thing, number four, we see God allowing. That is letting
nature follow established natural laws as it says concerning the rivers
and so on. The water naturally flowing because of gravity. So, He
started bringing His laws into unity and what you might call a cohesive
synergistic pattern which brings us, I think, a bit to the mystery of
gravity. You know, with the earth spinning it becomes a giant
centrifuge. What keeps everything from spinning off into space? People
say, “Gravity.” Hah! Tell me anybody who can actually give you the
formula and the real definition of gravity. 

		Peter, you’re the-- I don’t think you can find it because no
professor ever taught it. But the things is, isn’t that true that this
point nobody can actually define gravity? They can’t do it. But, the
Bible tells you, it’s something that God allowed; God wanted of nature
and so there is no way that you can spin off of this earth. There is no
way no matter how fast this earth spins that the waters are going to
scatter out into space or anything else. 

27.		Now, let me tell you something, there is known in this world as the
prevailing westerly’s, right? And the prevailing westerly’s, well
that’s the way it is. You get on a jet here, in America, and you can
fly to Europe, I would say ordinary flying, like we used to fly on the
old 747’s and what have you and 727’s, I can’t remember what they
are anyway. It was a 727 I came back on, the last time. And, you know,
we were two hours more coming back to America than flying over it.
because we didn’t have a wind in our tail. Now, what is happening with
those winds that have been blowing? Well maybe, three thousand years
previous to this six thousand years. Nine thousand years. 

	The water in the Atlantic is piled up, I understand, twenty seven feet.
Now, the Book of Revelation says, “There’s a time coming when the
angel will hold back the four winds,” and if the wind is held back the
water will rise twenty seven feet and maybe in New York City, take the
whole coast out. What I am trying to show you is God allows, see, it’s
in His prerogative. No 

man can explain it. It’s just something that God wanted and God put in
there and God’s behind it. And nobody can change it. And if anybody
ought to realize there is something greater then great, they should just
study gravity and they would begin to find out that there has got to be
something behind gravity that isn’t just strictly a law. See, God did
it. 

28.	 	Number five; God speaking and causing the cooperation of all that
was there to be exhibited as to the purpose each part of the earth was
designed for. Now, let me read it again so you get what I am talking
about. Here is God speaking and by speaking He is causing the
cooperation of all that was there on that earth and that way and
everything else to be exhibited as to the purpose each part of the earth
was designed for. In other words, the earth already had a designation or
a design. So God began to speak  [End of side one of tape] and when He
spoke, you’ll notice that certain things happened which caused, I’ve
already mentioned, the effect that was needed for something else, that
was also in the plan of God. 

		In other words, we talk about ecology and we talk about today there is
a great, great movement. It’s the female movement, the female goddess,
the Mother Earth. Oh yes, everybody’s bowing to Mother Earth.
Everybody’s ecology minded, everybody is, you know, the atmosphere,
the earth and all of those goodie-goodie things, you know. And,
they’re praying to the Great Spirit, the great female. Hogwash. Well,
let me tell you something, the One behind this all is God. You don’t
need to pray to any female goddess or anything else, you just need to
get with God because had God’s rules been obeyed the land lying
fellow, the land going back every fifty years to its rightful owners.
All of these things that God lined up, everything in His Word, we
wouldn’t have one bit of trouble with nothing. It’s man has done
this thing and now his very religion, his very God has integrated to a
female goddess and even the people in this Message are going back to
Gnosticism, they don’t even know it. Well I believe I am telling you
the truth. 

29.		All right, each part of the earth was designed for something unique
and it was compatible to each other part.  The earth was to bring forth
the seeds. Yeah, the earth to give animals and all life at that time, at
that time now, except Adam, his came later, body or bodies. The sea was
to bring forth the things that swam and the amphibians, I suppose, they
were maybe included at least along the shores. In other words, the sea
was there as a habitat, the land was a habitat, it was the land and
it’s minerals, such minerals also being in the sea were to bring the
bodies to existence with the protein and those elements which lay there
that came through the plants. God had it all lined up, completely in
balance. 

30.		Then, number six; God actually creating. It says He created whales,
it doesn’t say He spoke at this time. He created. And also, He formed;
the Bible speaks of forming, when He formed Adam, which means to take
and to squeeze, like the shape. So, God did some forming. Then the
Scripture says that God made. What does the word ‘made’ mean? It
means to’ bring forth’, when God made man He literally brought him
forth is what He was doing. 

		Now, having said all this; it is not our purpose to try and define all
of this and use it as laws. You know, to try to work it out on paper and
show how it all works in the earth. Adam already had that in him by
reason of the Holy Spirit and he blew it. See. How many thousand years
would it have taken an Adam to learn the proper cooperation with his
environment? He only got as far as naming the animals, he didn’t get
any further, blew it. 

31.		Anyway, we’re not in a position or attempt to by studying the
Word to bring forth some formula or some treatise on what we have looked
at as though we could really do something about it. But it’s to show
that this beginning, now the word beginning sounds like something quick,
but this beginning was a long one and only reached its ultimate goal in
Gen 2:1-4 which         I read. 

	Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, all the host of them.

		That’s pertaining to the earth, here now, what goes on way beyond
that, don’t ask me. You know the things they don’t see? Oh, they
say, “We’ve got our telescope on Mt. Palomar and this place and that
place and we’re in Texas and we’re here and we’re in Hawaii,”
God knows where they’re at, maybe the North Pole, “we looked up and
we saw oh trillions of miles out in space.” I’m not even interested.
Fap! What they could see with the naked eye, that’s all I’m
interested in, believe me, they had marvelous eyes. That’s why they
could see the Bible in the stars. They could see Orion, they could see
Leo, they could see Virgo, they could see the cross, fish, cancer, crab.


32.		They saw all of these and they knew exactly what they meant in the
Word of God. That’s exactly why Nimrod built an obelisk and I think
it’s eleven acres round of concrete there and he said all the signs of
the Zodiac. And he built a temple, a tower unto the heavens, which meant
this is heaven worship; this is what it is all about. And, he organized
the thing, one religion and God just smote the whole thing. Scattered
them. See, he was ahead of him time. Oh, smart cookie but he got blasted
out of the picture. There’s an antichrist coming who’s going to do
that so let’s just wait for him and look down on him, [Bro. Vayle
chuckles] just get out of here. The heavens were finished and the host

33.		[Genesis 2:]

	And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; 	and he 
rested (Notice, which He had made. The word made, there, 	He brought it
forth. See, He fashioned, brought it forth)…

	And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in 	it
he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

	These are the generations of the heaven[s] and earth when they 	were
created,…

		Now, this tells you how it was done, each single step, each
progression each part of the evolution. Which means God evolving all of
this to have a capstone, to have a pinnacle, to have the desired height
that He wanted, this was that plan and lo and behold, He had it and
nobody could say He didn’t, because He did. And He had the man and the
woman in there the way He wanted it. 

34.		Now, when Gen 2:3 is read, 

	And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that’s 
the day he had rested from all his work which God  made.

		Now, it is read it is not to be viewed at those God no longer creates.
It said He rested. They’ll say, “Well, he rested.” Well then, now
like they say today, “You better be good to the land because there
ain’t no more of it being made.” And, so they associate that with
God and they say, “Well, like the New Testament, come on we don’t
need miracles, we don’t need problems and la da hey, hey, hey…”
The Bible was established and now we got it. How many believe it? Ho,
ho, nobody hardly. The Bride’s going to be so small that really
believes the Word, you could almost, you’d almost have to take a…why
if she stood a hundred feet, you’d have to use a great big magnifying
telescope to see Her. I’m giving you a picture to how few there are.
There is going to be a small, small group and this is compared to the
5.5 billion people in this hour. Several million Christians, over a
billion Christians, so called. All right. In fact, there is about a
billion Catholics. I guess Christianity comes close to two billion now,
I am not quite sure anymore, I forget the figures. 

35.		But anyway, what we are looking at here is that when you read the
3rd verse, God blessed it, sanctified it, rested, that’s it. No more
creating, no more making, no more this no more that. Hogwash. To think
that God no longer speaks, no longer forms or makes or fashions or
directs or redirects but just sits back and lets His laws take over,
having set them in motion, is stupidity. Moses created, William Branham
created. Elijah took the widows oil, positively multiplied it which is
an act of creation, because in there creation is forming and making and
drawing forth. 

	God has never ever stopped being what He actually was and doing what He
is. In fact, there was some scientists who come to the point where they
said, “We believe that the oil resources are self renewing. We cannot
believe that they are not.” 

		And the rest of the scientists said, “Hold it, hold it, hold it,
hold it.” Because they made out of fish skins…Well, how many fish
skins would it take to make a gallon of oil? I am not sure that they
have all the answers, they say, “The sun didn’t stand still, what it
was is the earth.” How did they know? My Bible said, “Never,” and
Bro. Branham says, “One day they are going to find out.” 

		“Oh,” they said, “now if the sun stood still don’t you know
all of these things would fall off?” They’re liars, they don’t
know. Did they make the sun; did they even make a pattern of the
universe at all so that they know the effects? They’re liars. 

36.		Oh, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, send you right to hell
and then you’d get all the knowledge you need and wish you were out of
there and didn’t have it. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t feel sorry. Listen, I
am a tough cookie. All right, well you or me, listen don’t think for
one minute, over here, that this Genesis 3 means that God sat down and
He ended it all. Makes you feel better about Bro. Branham saying, “God
created squirrels” doesn’t it? Don’t think it isn’t possible
brother/sister. God’s got a…you say, “Well, just a minute…” No
don’t, hey, if we can’t believe the things that are given to us by a
reputation, character, settled upon by God Himself, what are we going to
be believe? 

		After seeing that microphone cord wrapped around Bro. Branham’s feet
and before God I never blinked my eyes, I just prayed and I…suddenly
the cord was right by his body. If that isn’t disintegration and
reintegration I don’t know and I don’t care. I saw what is
tantamount and better to me then creation. Yeah. And God did it. You
say, “Well, how do you know that He did it?” Because, I was praying
to him.” “Drop dead.” Yeah? You got too big a mouth for me. You
know your Bible, your mouth is supposed to talk faith? Yeah. Well, you
just heard it. 

37.		Okay, this then, what we see in Gen 2:3, is the encapsulation of
everything that went before it and is the foundation from which God now
works. Where God and mankind really start to move in the career that God
had foreknown and predestinated to the man, with this God, creator and
the relationship, of course, of father, which I believe Adam understood,
to a degree. Now, here is the point. All of this was necessary to
implement Gen 1:28-29.

 (28) 	And God blessed them, and God said Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl of the air, over every living thing that
moveth upon the earth.

(29) 	And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed,
which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is
the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

		Now, this is prophetic, you see. But, all the Bible is prophetic. When
it says back here, “In the beginning God created the heaven and
earth,” you’re looking back at a statement which is future in its
application, because it tells you how it was all done. So, there is
nothing in the Bible, it’s a book of prophecy. It’s a book of the
Word of God and God fulfilling His own Word. It’s the Bible as it is
said, “Let God be God.” Hey, that’s…Bro. Branham knew the secret
he said, “I just learned to get out of the way, that is the greatest
gift I got is.” Oy, oy, oy he said it was a gift. Well, I would like
to have that gift, I really would, I think that’d be the greatest, I
know it’s the greatest gift of all. 

38.		So, what we have seen so far then is the laying of this foundation
to the end, major purpose of a race of Adamic being’s who are in full
control of the earth. Because, it was given to them by Almighty God that
they should so have it. Now, I am going to stop there. I got to the
bottom of page three, that gives me six pages to go and I am going to
get into a place where I can’t back out and start to easy tomorrow.
But I can start very easily by reading in three minutes what I take an
hour and a quarter to preach. Oh, about an hour cause we had a little
prayer a bit previous there. Okay, very good, let’s bow our heads in
prayer.

		Heavenly Father, we bow our heads, Lord, in awe and wonder at this
great creation revealed to us here in this Word. We know it’s true
because we’re a part of it right now. But, it gives us a little time
to think how marvelous it was and what Adam and Eve forfeited, thereby
putting it all into bondage. And yet, knowing there was a purpose there,
hidden until it began to be revealed under the sacrifice and the
covenant of them. 

		For in Lord, you being a Savior it was necessary that you predestinate
a man who would bypass his true soul manifestation, spirit word body,
theophany, Bro. Branham called it. Take upon him flesh which could be
tempted, tried, tested and fail. In order, Lord, that You might receive
even the greater glory and he in turn would receive even that which is
greater, Lord, worlds greater, we believe. Almost an infinity greater in
the days which are to come. And what was back there, when man could have
lived on earth thousands of years and suddenly everybody turned to the
Tree of Life and become immortal.

		And Lord, we really believe that though that would not insipid as far
as we are concerned, at this very point, it would marvelous to know that
we could just live on and be fine healthy 

loving people just worshipping You. This is not the ultimate. But, in
turn it must go upward and upward and it could never take that turn
outside of the sacrifice, the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and that,
Lord, which You have arranged for us in what we are now entering into. 

		So, we thank You for your love and your kindness. Thank You for the
Word of the prophet, that mentioned this ever increasing unfolding,
magnifying sanctification. Holy, holy, holy unto the Lord, going on and
on. That’s been our cry, Lord in every heart, I know that my heart’s
no different and that’s been the cry. And now, we realize that’s
just a little sob down there. One day, every tear of that heart to be
taken away, that fluid outside the heart and the pericardium, Lord, all
to go as we stand there for thousands of years entering more and more
into your holy, holy holy. What we are yearning for and longing. Knowing
that we already have the seed, therefore that very privilege and the
purpose of God. Bless Your people tonight, Lord, and as we go into the
communion service may every heart, Lord, rejoice and be blessed and
benefited. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen. 

Communion Service

1.		All right, now, we’ve covered a lot of material tonight just the
same, and so we are going to look at the…oh, I just feel to go to the
book of John. I am going to have to take a little time one of these days
and look up a, something out of the Old Testament more then Isaiah 53
and some of the songs and just go in there and see some of the things we
have concerning the communion service. Well, there’s back in Genesis,
of course, when Abraham was served the elements by Melchesidec, wasn’t
he? 

		All right, in John 13, this has to do more with the foot washing then
the communion but we take both, the communion then the foot washing
first. I mean the communion first then foot washing. All right, it says
here, and we always read that 1st verse because it is so great.

Now before the feast of the passover… 

		That’s actually before Jesus was to be sacrificed as our Passover,
the Bible calls him our Passover which means that he is the lamb that
was given, shedding his blood for us that we might come through the hour
of darkness and the darkness of death and be spared to enter into
God’s promised land, which of course, we know is the Millennium. And,
then onward and upward to where we come to the New Jerusalem.

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was
come (to be that Passover) that he should depart out of this world unto
the Father,(Now his body never left, no, no, no, body never left, did
not happen. Soul went down to Hades, the life went back to God.) having
loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

2.		In other words, those he was presently engaged with. What does that
tell you? That tells you that if we are the loved of God, now what’s
the loved of God? Well, we can find it out very simply by going to the
very last book of the Bible, which is Malachi. And in there, it sure
won’t be Micah, no wonder there is 7 chapters there. Malachi has only
got 4 chapters, I want the 3rd. Let me see. Now, see here, I want the
1st chapter, I am always used to the 3rd and 4th but the 1st is what I
want. 

[Malachi 1:]

	The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.

	I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet you say, Wherein hast thou 	loved
us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I 	loved Jacob,

	And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for 
the dragons of the wilderness.

		Now, God’s love is elective love. Whom He sets His love upon is His
own predestinated. So therefore, if you’re talking about the love of
God and you want to be definitive, you have to go to your Bible. And,
you have to see what it was like when He was here in the flesh because
this is going to be, in my estimation, the ultimate manifestation of
Him, dealing in love. Before the feast of Passover, Jesus having loved
his own, which were in the Word, he loved them unto the end. Now, who
were they? They were the eleven apostles. Now, it’s not that he
didn’t have love for the others, like his mother and brothers and
different ones, but, the particular love is for these, that were
absolutely one with him, in his ministry, the whole thing. I am not
talking about as though they had ministry to qualify, I am just talking
about they were that essential group in there and you talk about his
love in Malachi, you’re looking at Jacob and Esau. 

3.		Now, there are those who translate the word ‘hate’ as
‘loveless’, which is true, it can be translated as that. Bro.
Branham never used that. But, if we did go to that point with our
understanding, you’ll begin to realize that there are two types of
virgins. One is wise and one is foolish. Now, remember, when the show
down comes, the wise virgins alone go in and the foolish do not go in.
So, then upon whom is his love set? Upon the wise, the inner circle. So,
if we’re going to talk about love and in my understanding, and
therefore my presentation, I would extend to you the thought tonight
that you think upon this. That though everybody talks about the love of
God, there is a tiny little minority who actually has it and will have
it, right to the going to the Wedding Supper. 

		And, we know that Bro. Branham said, concerning the man that had the,
what you might call, the lack of fear to go into the wedding supper,
gumption, guts, whatever you want to call it, didn’t have a wedding
garment on. 

		“Friend, how do you manage to sit here without a wedding garment?”


		“I don’t have one.” 

		“Well,” he said, “get out.” 

		And Bro. Branham said, “They sit amongst us the same way.” So,
what was Bro. Branham saying? He said, “I have come to dress a
Bride.” So, that the love of God is unique when it comes to the
perfect relationship of the Alpha and the Omega hour. The Omega hour
must be identical to the Alpha. And I would say here, at least
illustrating, what greater love can anybody have then that love which is
given by Jesus to the Bride in this hour? 

4.		Now it says,  [John 13:]

	Supper being ended, the devil now having put into the heart of 	Judas
Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

		Now, pretty soon you know, we’re going to see the old devil
incarnate himself, his spirit’s already here and he’s got the son of
perdition spirit and Jesus got the Son of man spirit. Two miracle
ministries, both authenticated by God, because all power is of God, but
one used very wrong and one used exactly according to Scripture.

	 	So, if we see Judas Iscariot ready to betray, but, now remember, we
go beyond the point of the Alpha because in the Omega there is no
betraya,l because the Bride is taking out of here, she is taken out of
here. Now, so, 

	Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, 	and
that he was come from God, and went to God; (that’s 	concerning that
Alpha period in that particular area)

	He riseth from supper, laid aside his garment took a towel, and 	girded
himself.

		Now, at this particular time we know who has come down, God has come
down. And, He has come down amongst the people in order to set the
church in order, headship is here. God himself is heading  His church.
In order to present it to Christ, He is putting everything under His
feet. Now, all things are not yet under His feet and The Father never
will be. But, The Father is putting all things under His feet and
remember, when God re-incarnates Himself, just prior to the wedding
supper, He will be King of kings, Lord of lords, that will be the
Father, Son, Holy Ghost, that’ll be the son of man, son of David, Son
of God, everything, it all in all will be there. 

5.		So, all right, we see here now that we’re just at the point of the
all things being turned over to the Son. Now, at this particular time,
what’s being done? Well, what’s being done—now, we are looking at
type here, looking at figure, the whole thing. We are looking at the
fact of Ephesians 5 and notice what it says:

 (25) 	Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave himself for it;

		Now, there has got to be a reciprocal love. Now, the reciprocal love
has got to be based upon Malachi 1. She knows who she is, she knows her
election she knows that she’s the Bride. Now, what does He do? That He
might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word.
Now, it doesn’t say blood. You are getting the Word revealed to you
now and renewed, that He might present unto Himself a glorious church.
Now, He couldn’t do it back there and they without us cannot be made
perfect. There’s a perfection being worked out in the Bride. Remember,
the blood perfects the Bride, the water, the washing of the Word takes
out every spot and every wrinkle, the garments have been cleansed and
now she stands, Altogether Lovely within and without. Right? Neither
blemished spot nor wrinkle, she’s got to be. 

6.		Now, the world won’t believe it, we might have a little job
ourselves but Bro. Branham said, “When God demands a thing, God sees
that he gets it.” And that’s the way it is. And the church is ready
to be presented. And He said,

[Ephesians 5:] 

(28) 	So ought men to love their wives... He that loveth his wife loveth
himself. 

		Now, what is He saying here? He’s saying, “For God to love us is
to love Himself.” Why? Because as Eve was taken out of Adam, so the
Bride was taken out of Christ, taken from the side. She’s a part of
God, let’s face it, a part of Him, and she comes back to Him, which is
true. So now, she is complete, ready. 

		Now, what is he, now Peter then, he has a bit of knowledge here and a
little knowledge can do you great damage if it doesn’t go in the right
direction. 

		So he said, “Well, Lord,” he said, “I don’t think you should
wash my feet.” 

		“Then,” He said, “You don’t have any part with me.”

		“Oh,” he said, “my hands do the whole of  me.”

		“No, no,” He said, “there you are again, Peter.” 

		See? Now, what we’re looking at here at the end time. You’re
looking at a washing that the previous group did not go through, as far
as I can read it,  and see the book of Ephesians because hey, the
presentation was started by Paul, in Ephesus, we’re back to Ephesus,
the Alpha and Omega situation, even to the completely revealed Word and
the prickliness of the people. With God who is love sealing the church
in and here He is saying here, “For God to do this is actually loving
Himself.” Well, doesn’t that line up with what Irenaeus said and
Bro. Branham said was the truth? “God being a savior necessary,
predestinate a man, required salvation to give Himself reason and
purpose of being.” What is the reason and purpose of being of God? To
have what He has. That’s the ultimate, that’s the great thing.

7.		So, for God to do that shows that God actually loves Himself to love
the Bride. Now, you take it right down to man, a man is supposed to love
his wife because she is a part of him. Bro. Branham said, “Your
mother’s a part of your father; you are part of your father, you’re
all Word.” You’re all part of each other, it’s all one life. So,
we’re looking at this here. And, Peter said, “Then, Lord, my whole
body.” 

		And He said, “No, no, no this is the feet, this is the end time.” 

		Now: [John 13:]

(10) 	And Jesus said, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his
feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

(11) 	For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not
all clean.

		Now, we know, of course, that there is going to be a lot of people
come at the end time. And, you know, they’ll talk about the Word,
they’ll take sacraments, everything else and they’ll go right
through the formula. But, the actual fact of the matter is, they’re
not a part of it. They’re not receiving the washing of the water by
the Word. Now, I am not against the people, I have nothing against them
because hey, I appreciate the fact that they at least saw that much that
they knew there was reality. 

8.		Now, before I started ‘In the Beginning’, you know I said the
make-believer comes in just so he can say, “Hah, I knew there was
nothing to it.” And I simply cannot have respect for that because that
man came in as a hypocrite and a liar to begin with. Why don’t you
stay out? You know I don’t think you should pretend you like my
cooking if you really don’t like it. You know, come around come around
until one day you say, “Well, I’m not going to show up, I never
could stand your cooking.” Well, you had an ulterior motive then
coming for my cooking. What do you have in mind? What were you trying to
do? Try to steal my recipes which you didn’t like anyway? You know,
you figure this and the guy is suspect. He’s not for real, he’s a
hypocrite. 

		You know why Judas was there? Money, money, money. The love of money
is still the root of all evil. That’s why the Jews got the paper.
Yeah, they’re not after true wealth. That’s why the Bible in the end
time says, “I take, get the gold that is tried in the fire.” Get the
mined gold. Hey, listen, Catholics got one gold, Bride got other gold.
Jews got paper, not  interested, Word. Oh yeah, hey, we’re, we’re,
our eyes are open. Now, watch how dangerous a thing I just said. Our
eyes are open, we see. What if we don’t see? Our sin remaineth,
because we said, “We saw.” But, that doesn’t apply, no, no, no,
no, no, doesn’t apply. We knew we were blind, we knew we were naked,
we knew we were wretched. But now, we see. 

		So, all right, this is kind of what foot washing is about, these
sacraments. You know, just shows you that it’s something we do that
has behind it something greater, something spiritually meaningful and
wonderful. And, so that’s where we are, let’s rise at this time. And
the brethren come forward, right away. We’ll just pray and be able to
start the administering and you know how we come around the side there
and you split into two rows when you come to the table because there’s
one for bread, which is taken very rapidly but the cup takes longer so
there’s, there’ll be two cups. I think we have two, don’t we?
Everybody got enough? Okay, let’s just make sure we have everybody
here, let’s pray.

		Heavenly Father, we are about now to enter into this communion, which
we know is emblematic and yet very, very real. Even though it’s just
an emblem it should positively make us realize what has taken place and
the effectual value thereof. And the foot washing, Lord, we look at it
again in the light of yesteryear rolling around the Alpha to the Omega
when as it says in Hebrews, “The son of man has crucified themselves
afresh,” “the Son of God,” rather. Lord, we see that and we see
upon whom You have set Your love and, Lord, how disrespectful it would
be if we would not be in the category of Rebekah. No way for Isaac if we
did not see and love the One who made us open our eyes by those gifts, a
great prophet coming, showing us the majesty and the wonder and the
glory in this limited sense here upon the earth, making us know that
this was the One we loved and the One we wanted. So, that when you come
it’ll be just marvelous, it’s everything and more. Even as the Queen
of Sheba said, “The half was not told.” 

		We appreciate that tonight, Lord; let it be real to each and every one
of us. May we enter into spiritual mindedness, Lord. Especially knowing
that the hour is rapidly closing off and yet if You should not come
until some of us go into the grave, that’s of little import. It’s
been proven, vindicated, every evidence that the earth and man have soon
run its course and the great God will take back His earth and His people
and begin anew. We appreciate that and thank You for it and reveal Your
great and holy name, even Jesus’ Name. Amen.
